HP-Envy Computer
Processor: Intel Core i7-4820K CPU @ 3.70GHz
Memory: 32.0 GB
System:
Three SATA drives, 1,863 GB each, configured into a RAID 5 with 3,762
total GB
This is a software RAID, Intel Rapid Storage Technology 16.5.1.1030
I have included the full information at the end. The system is
presently running Win 10 PRO just fine. I want to convert it to a
FreeBSD 12 system. If I install FreeBSD 12 amd64 utilizing ZFS, will it
recognize the drives and set them up correctly or will I have to do
something manually? I want to keep the RAID setup and not use the
drives individually.
